It's the ginormous book that got Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, to travel to Massachusetts to talk about. But did we have a good time reading the tome that is synonomous with "trauma care"? Our Summer 2025 Book Club choice is the best-selling "The Body Keeps the Score", a go-to reference for anyone interested in learning more about trauma and its treatment. But, because it's us, if you think we're just going to do a happy-little review of what's between the hippy-dippy cover art and fawning back cover references, you really don't know our style. In between describing our favorite examples of "that's really a therapy?" we discuss the controversy over Dr. van der Kolk's work, how much trauma-informed practice has come since the book's publication, and answer the question, "Is this book really appropriate for behavior analysts?" Whether you're looking for other BCBAs to discuss this book with you or because you just don't have time for another 400-page doorstop right now, get your ear buds in and enjoy the discussion!

The full episode is available for 2.0 LEARNING BACB / 2.0 TRAUMA-INFORMED QABA CEUs.
